Lonicera xylosteum

Xylostosidine is a novel sulphur-containing monoterpenoid glucosidic alkaloid that occurs in the water-soluble extract of Lonicera xylosteum L. Its structure (17) has been elucidated by mass and n.m.r. spectroscopy.23 Two additional alkaloid glucosides, loxylostosidines A and B, have been isolated from the same source. They are the two geometrical isomers of xylostosidine sulphoxide, the former with a P S—O bond and the latter with an a, on n.m.r. spectral evidence.24...
